CHAPTER TWO: COULD THIS GET ANY BETTER?

IT ALL BELONGS TO SM

The funeral was in a beautiful meadow just along the coastline of the reservation. Billy and Jake had come to pick me and Charlie up at our house with my truck that he spent the last two days working on. Jacob looked terribly handsome in the navy blue suit he wore. Billy had on a blazer with black jeans and a tie. It seemed more convenient being he had to work up his strength to push himself everywhere.

There was no church, just the meadow. With a bunch of wild grass and moth growing everywhere. The aroma was marvelous. The casket had a beautifully designed blanket thrown over the top; it had to be a traditional Quileute thing. As the eldest tribal member spoke his words before lowering the casket a few inches, Jacob's hands were suddenly surrounding mine. That's when I noticed that we weren't standing in a meadow. This was the reservations cemetery. The same one that Jacob's mother had been buried in.

"Sometimes people are taken away from us. Sometimes they are gone for good reason. Harry has taught us all well! He has risen all of our younger generation. He has been a miraculous father to not only his children but also ours. It's ashamed he has not reached the day to see his children's children live, but we shall never doubt that because we all know that his spirit lives on. He was a true..." the words escaped Billy's mouth as he sat beside the casket with a single white rose in his hand and shivers raced up my body.

Jacob must have felt me because he pulled me closer to him and put his arm around my shoulder, not caring of the extra weight he put on me. I don't remember exactly when the funeral was done but I do remember getting in the car with Jake and driving of to my house.

"My father said we are spending the night at yours." Jacobs face turned into a big white smile.

"Oh really? And I have no say in that?" I couldn't help but smile also.

"Don't worry Bella, I won't bug you." I was sure that wasn't the end if his sentence. And like always with Jacob there came more. "Much" and with that he laughed.

"Great now I'm going to have to deal with a dirty flee infested pet in my house." I winked at him and he sucked his teeth and placed my hand in his.

"It's okay. You can always take me a bath." I was half expecting an answer like that. But what got me the most was the silly gesture he made. Jacob sat there with his tongue hanging out the left side of his mouth panting. Then he started laughing again. My face was blank.

We stormed inside the house and went straight for the couch. All day on our feet and I was drained. "Are you hungry?" I was about to get up and make my self some food but it seemed that Charlie was way ahead of us. There was a knock on the door. Pizza.

My eyes could barely stay open and I was about to pass out on the couch with my feet tucked under Jakes massive legs. "I know you're only friends but you have your own room Bells now get to it. Jake I have some extra sheets just in case you get cold." Charlie was trying to be stern but Jacob and I both knew there was nothing he wanted more than for me and Jacob to be a 'thing'. And right now I wasn't thinking to far away from that.

I went upstairs and threw myself on my bed blacking out as I pulled the covers over my head. I must have been out for about four hours before I woke. It was awfully hot and I threw my covers from my body glancing at the clock that read 3:17am. Something shocked me as I turned back over to my originally position. Jacob was sitting on the edge of my bed like he belonged there. He didn't move but his words were soft and kind of sweet.

"It sounded like you were crying so I had to check on you." his whispers were like Lilacs brushing together in a soft breeze.

"Did I say anything?" I don't remember exactly what my dream was about but if I was crying it must have not been good.

"Well yes and no. You see I came up because I heard you cry but it wasn't bad after all. I guess you have a little problem with sleep sobbing. But then I thought I just humor you with the whole pet thing and decided to sleep on the edge like any other 'DOG'." he had a point that was really funny know that he had elaborated.

Some things just felt too familiar though and I couldn't help but to let a tear out my eye. And as it rolled down my face I felt Jacobs warm finger wipe it away but it didn't linger. He raised my chin and looked me straight in the eyes.

"I guess this would've worked out better if fairytale creatures didn't exist." he smirked at his own understanding at what he was.

"No one said it couldn't." and that was the first good mistake I've ever made. I didn't have a chance to think about what I had said. Jacob's hot sweet mouth moved to mine. The tingle from the heat waking me up even more.

I never thought one kiss could feel like this, but it sort of made me feel alive. I've never kissed anyone but Edward and this was nothing compared to it. Jacob had a passion to his touch that I never thought I could experience or already had experienced but I was wrong. This one simple touch of his lips to mine made sparks fly through my joints and raised my arms to gain a hold around his neck. It was fury, oh god no, it wasn't fury. This was something more.

"I'm sorry." why had I apologized? I wasn't sorry, this was Jacob.

"For what? Did you... not like it?" although he should've sounded sad with the words he just said, he didn't. He had pride, far too much to let this take him down.

"No, I love it. I mean, it was great. It's just that I wasn't really expecting my reaction." I admitted to that. I was always told the first step was admitting.

"So why are you complaining?" he pulled me back to him again and kissed me once more. I heard the door squeak and we both jerked back from each other to stare at Charlie's blank expression.

"So much for just friends." he walked away mumbling and slammed the door behind him making sure he would wake up Billy as he did so. And he did.

We could hear him from up hear. Calling Jakes name about a million times before starting to swear. "I'll see you tomorrow, Bells." he leaned in to kiss me one more time and I felt the corners of his mouth tilt up as he smirked.

I heard the faint whispers of their voices as Jake came up with an excuse as to why he was still awake and not in bed. But he hadn't lied to Billy; he just didn't tell him everything. As I heard Charlie start to snore again I too lay my head back against my pillow clutching the covers in my hand and smiled.

When I thought all was bad I had my sun to warm me up. I never thought this would happen between us but it had and I damned sure am not going to stop it now. And I'm not being selfish because I was pretty sure Jacob felt the same way too.
